Qubes OS release

4.1.1

Brief summary

If you try to copy/paste a large amount of text between VMs it doesn't work. Only 1 byte "}" is copied.
This is very confusing because the copy/paste tool doesn't tell that the amount of text is too much.

Steps to reproduce

  1. make plenty of text in a text editor, e.g. 500 kB
  2. Select all of it, Ctrl+A
  3. Ctrl+C
  4. Ctrl+Shift+C
  5. Open a text editor in another VM
  6. Ctrl+Shift+V in the new VM
  7. Ctrl+V

Expected behavior

All text is copied, OR proper error message is given to the user.

Actual behavior

Only 1 byte is copied and it doesn't tell what is wrong.

I am the one who has done most of the recent GUI daemon work, so assigning myself.
